How do I declare inout arguments in C#?

The equivalent of inout in C# is ref. , as shown in the followingexample: public void MyMethod (ref String str1, out String str2)

{

...

}

When calling the method, it would be called like this: String s1;

String s2;

s1 = "Hello";

MyMethod(ref s1, out s2);

Console.WriteLine(s1);

Console.WriteLine(s2);

Notice that you need to specify ref when declaring the function and calling it.

Is there a way of specifying which block or loop to break out of when working with nested loops?

The easiest way is to use goto: using System;

class BreakExample

{

public static void Main(String[] args)

{

for(int i=0; i<3; j="0" j ="=">


What is the difference between const and static read-only?

The difference is that static read-only can be modified by the containing class, but const can never be modified and must be initialized to a compile time constant.

To expand on the static read-only case a bit, the containing class can only modify it:

-- in the variable declaration (through a variable initializer).

-- in the static constructor (instance constructors if it's not static).
